Powder Coat Stripping?

[phill]

Wondering what the best way is to strip powder coat off of a valve cover

i was thinking about using aircraft remover, but im sure it will destroy the spark plug gaskets, how easy are they to replace?

Hand sanding isnt doing it quite quick enough lol

i used paint stripper on mine worked fine

Just make sure to cover the gaskets with tape or sumthing, you should be fine

I think it will be labeled as aircraft stripper at most auto parts stores. This is not paint thinner. Be sure to get some rubber gloves if you use it.
